Key Takeaways
- Webfishing has titles that players can buy, with some of them being different sexualities.
- A Steam user complained that there wasn’t a straight option, so the developer added one…
- …for $9,999. And it doesn’t even really call you straight.
Webfishing, the delightful, casual multiplayer game that launched last month, just added a new title. This comes after a Steam user took issue with the fact that there wasn’t a way to label yourself as straight, prompting the dev to add this title in the latest patch.
However, there are two catches here. First of all, the title is “straight”. Yes, in inverted commas. Second of all, it won’t cost you $75 of the in-game currency – it will cost you $9,999.
Webfishing Pokes Fun At Players Who Wanted A “Straight” Title
As reported by Rock Paper Shotgun, this all stems from someone in the discussions section of the Webfishing Steam page asking for a straight label. “Need a straight title,” they said. “we got gay, we got trans, we got pan, we got bi. when straight comin out [sic]”.
Now, looking at the recent patch notes, it seems that the dev, lamedeveloper, had some fun with this, writing: “Added “Straight” Title. It costs $9999.”
So, there you go, random Steam user. Better save up, because you’ll have to catch a lot of fish to afford that. And even then, the best you’re getting is “straight”, I’m afraid.
If you’re out of the loop, Webfishing is, as the name would suggest, a fishing game centred around hanging out with other players. It launched on October 11 of this year and gained a following with its simple design. It has overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam and is receiving regular updates, so the future looks bright for this unlikely hit.
